Solon if I punch myself in my body I ownly harm myself. If punching my own body directly caused your death then I would not have a right to punch my own body. Since this would not happen that fact is probably not important. What if you punch yourself in the body ( or drive drunk, or whatever)...what I mean is, what if you do something that makes you legally, or morally, or physically (or all three) responsible for your death--is that your right?> If the improbability of death (by punching yourself in the body) would not (in your opinion) happen, and therefore (in your opinion) "is probably not important"--are there other facts, such as the ones I have instanced above, that might make such a fact important...as seems to be implied by your exception of a very particular fact in the above post??
